Takeoff description

Are (or Åre in Swedish) is mainly the biggest ski area in Sweden. But it is also a great place for both hang- and paragliding. There are 3 maintained launch zones all year-round for beginners from NE to NW. The biggest is called 'the 1000-meter' and is located at 1280 m ASL. There are also possibilities for XC flying, mainly from April until September. The mountain is easy accessed by a tram from January until August. In the other months, you can just walk up the mountain, or in summer time catch the local club shuttle/buss or by Skysports shuttle/buss.
